Funny Clothes And The Public

When it comes to wearing clothes people will pick and choose and will buy different clothes according to them and their personality. A lot of people will buy when their shopping normal plain clothes, where’s the fun in plain clothes you tell me?

Why you wouldn’t wear funny clothes in the public:

People will choose to buy plain garments because there either still too young and are shopping with their parents. Parents will buy their children more plain garments because they know that if their child wears something funny in school then they could distract other children in learning. Or even worse if parents bought an offensive printed or rude printed clothes for their child, and they then wear that into school then the parents would get a call from the head teacher stating that their child isn’t wearing appropriate clothes for school.

Any one shopping for clothes who are old enough to shop by themselves and without their parents will choose to buy clothes that are plain because of the sole reason that they don’t want to attract any kind of attention. There are many people like that in this world you may come to know and some of you may even be surprised to notice that not everyone wants fame even if its as short as shopping at the local supermarket and someone points out “hey you have an awesome t shirt”. Some people just don’t want t be noticed.

Why you would wear funny clothes in public?

Some people will wear funny clothes like funny t shirts out in the public because they simply want all the attention, the free attention that they can get. It may have a funny slogan printed or an image that can be seen from quite a distance away. Generally these sorts of people would be young and probably students. Why students? Well they want the attention of their fellow class mates so that they can all have a good laugh together when there all stuck in a lecture on a good afternoons day.

Even celebrities loves wearing funny clothes in public so that they can draw even more attention to them whilst having the biggest fame a celebrity will ever have. People wear funny clothes in public to get fame or more like to have their thirty seconds of fame.  

Other people will buy funny clothes quite simply to make other people happy like a husband may buy funny t shirts for him and his wife for their anniversary and it may have printed “Game Over” with a picture of the man in a wedding suit and the lady in the wedding dress. So when they wear the t shirts out in public, people will know that they are married and it’s just an joke and a happy moment that the husband and wife would spend.

This video will show how using DTG Pretreat fluid allows a direct-to-garment (dtg) printer to print bright colors on 100% polyester garments and provide good washability. A Brother GT-541 printer, Insta heat press and Champion Double Dry® Tee 100% polyester garments were used in this video. Using other garments may require changes to the amount of pretreat fluid or ink used. Sample print and wash test are recommended before going into production.

The Up’s And Down’s Of Iron On Printing

As many of you may be aware that there is an easy way of printing your own t shirts without the need of spending money on new clothes every time you see something new. You can do it from home, even better you can do it from your desktop or laptop. All you require is a pc or a laptop which I am sure many of you own or can get to use one, a printer, iron on printer paper, an A4 colour printer or even an A3 printer and an iron.

About the program to design you could even use software like paint any program or software that will allow you to import an image and then print will be suitable. The days are gone where you had to spend literally thousands of pounds/dollars on creative software like Corel or Photoshop because the standard software are just as good to do your on printing on clothing.

The Advantages of printing your own slogans and images on your clothing is that it doesn’t cost much compared to how much you would pay for a brand new piece of clothing with that same slogan printed. You can even release your own creativity when ever you want. You may be sleeping the one minute at night time then next you get a great idea that you need to get printed and it can all be done at the click of a button or two.

The best advantage of iron on printing is that you are in control of what you want, you can control what you want to print, then you can control what colours you want, you get to choose your clothing and what you want printing and best of all you can choose where to get it printed because you have the total freedom, that’s total customisation for you.

Above all you can treat and enjoy the total freedom of customisation and printing with your family and friends. If there is a new born baby in the house you can make and print customised t shirts for all the family members from “New Born Granddad” printed clothing to “I’m A Mum On (the Date Of Birth Of The new Baby)”. It can a lot of fun and it can be a great laugh with your mates because if you’re the sort of guy that want to pray pranks on your mates then you can have printed clothing saying “MY Friends Single Make Him Happy” and you can have the arrow pointing to him.

How ever as many great things in life do have the best advantages there are a few disadvantages. The first downside is the financial costs. Although it may not be very much compared to other printing methods you still will need to buy the paper which you can get for £20 or , then not everyone has a printer with full set of inks so again you’re looking around here to spend £50 to depending upon what make, the size it can print and the speed. Plus the other downside is, is that it’s all good you making great looking clothing for people but will they actually be willing to part with their hard earned cash? You have to think why do you really want to print t shirts or anything else, is it for business or for your very own personal use? If it’s for starting up your own business then let me tell you that iron on printing is not the way forward.

Screen Printing Clothing vs Embroidered Clothing

Screen Printing Clothing vs Embroidered Clothing

When you have to choose between two processes in this case ‘screen printing’ or ‘embroidery’ it can be very difficult so hopefully the following information will help.

Screen Printing & Embroidery are mainly used for promotional clothing so choosing the best process to promote your company is a very important decision. They both have their advantages and disadvantages but either choose has a massive impact on potential customers.

The process of screen printing

There are many factors when it comes to screen printing, the artwork, the screens and the machines your t-shirts are printed on. Firstly we have to produce the artwork which is created in Adobe Illustrator and is known as Vector, this is then printed onto film which gets exposed on the light table. Screens are made up of many types of meshes from a 43 which allows a heavier deposit of ink to a 120 which puts a minimum deposit of ink down for finer detailed designs, emulsion is placed onto these meshes and then the film placed on top. These are both placed under the exposure unit to expose. The film blocks the light allowing the surrounding emulsion to cure whilst the covered area breaks down, the screen is then rinsed and ready for print.

Depending on your design this process can be done 1-12 times to produce screens for an individual job so setting up a job can be very time consuming. The screens are spun automatically around the machine in sequence whilst the squeegee pulls the ink across the screen depositing the ink onto the shirt. All colours are put down wet on wet unless we have dark shirts where a flash cure unit is used to dry the base before proceeding to the next colour. Once all the colours are completed the shirt is then taken off and placed through the dryer and there you have it a printed t-shirt.

The process of embroidery

Embroidery consists of two processes firstly you need your design digitised using embroidery software (Wilcom) this coverts the artwork into a format the machines can recognise and replicate the design into stitches onto your garments, Once completed this can be loaded into an embroidery machine (SWF) ready for sewing.

The time for processing the design can take 10 minutes to run; most manufactures machines have eight heads which enables multiple production runs.

The machine has a start point so wherever the designer has located this depends on how the image was created, most images are produced in layers and work backwards depending on the garment type. Each element is stitched with its specified colour which is taken from the industries standard (Madeira) threads with a maximum of 12 colours per head.

 

Whilst we have discussed the processes we haven’t spoken about the advantages and disadvantages of screen printing and embroidery.

The major advantage between them both is speed, whilst screen printing has alot of stages to produce the screen once complete the process is minimal with some companies producing around 20,000 t-shirts a day. Embroideries downfall is the digitising, most designs are small but when you have an intricate design this can take hours to digitise and when complete only a maximum of 8 designs can be produced at one time.

Last ability is a major issue as screen printing is the choice when comparing with digital transfers but when it comes to embroidery this wins hands down. Screen Printing is produced by using inks so after time and many washes the inks start to deteriorate, this is alot slower than transfers but faster than embroidery threads losing their colour. Embroidery is the perfect choice for corporate wear as these can be washed at high temperatures and multiple times.

Cost effectiveness is the most important issue for most people as applying these techniques to clothing isn’t cheap. The majority of the cost comes down to the design, if you have a small left breast 1 colour design this will be roughly the same cost, if you look at the other end of the scale and the design is large with multiple colours, screens become very expensive and programmes can have thousands of stitches. These two basically level out but setups on Print can cost £240 and embroidery programmes around £120+.

My personal opinion on this topic is that screen printing achieves more effectiveness for promotional clothing when trying to sell a product and embroidery suits corporate clothing but overall the both have their advantages and disadvantages.
